Break-Even Calculator
What is this tool?
A focused break-even and contribution-margin calculator. Enter price, unit cost and fixed costs, and it computes your contribution margin, break-even units, break-even revenue, and (given an expected volume) your margin of safety — plotted on a cost-vs-revenue chart.
When to use it
- Checking a product or service's break-even point before launch
- Estimating how many units you need to sell to cover fixed costs
- Understanding how much cushion (margin of safety) you have above break-even
- Seeing how a price or cost change shifts your break-even point
- Sanity-checking a pricing decision before committing to it
How to use it
- 1Enter your price per unit and variable cost per unit
- 2Enter your fixed costs per month
- 3Enter your expected monthly volume to see margin of safety
- 4Read the break-even units, break-even revenue and contribution margin
- 5Adjust any input and watch the chart and results update instantly
Frequently asked questions
What is the break-even point?
The sales volume (in units or revenue) at which total revenue equals total costs — below it you're operating at a loss, above it you're profitable.
What is contribution margin?
Price minus variable cost per unit — how much each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs before you break even.
What is margin of safety?
How far your expected sales volume is above the break-even point, as a percentage — a cushion against a sales shortfall.
